The winners were determined in all but two of the eight w« Rht divisions. The 125-pound and 155-pound classes will hgve their finals on Wednesday afternoon of this week. Many thrills and laughs were provided for the group of wrestling followers who braved the chills of a cold and windy afternoon and sat through the ■ boats. The quality of the wrestling which was witnessed is stteated by the fact that thoee who sttend- ed did not leave until the ehd of the last bout In the first struggle of the af ternoon, H. G. “Champ” Smith, at tempted a oomebacfc to regain the title which he held two years sgo in the ISS-pound class, was defeat ed by H. & McGrsdy.

MANNING SMITH, who will as sist in coaching the Texas Aggies next year, is more than a football player. Here is some interesting “dope” on this all-around athlete. Besides being mentioned on sev eral All-American teams and be ing placed on the “Liberty Mmga- sine" all-South team, Smith was an “A” student at Centenary. In the eyes of Homer Norton, Smith is the smartest football player he has ever coached and one of the smartest young players in Ameri ca. He was elected president of the student body, president of the Y M C A wan a member of the Dra matic Club and was voted as the best all-around athlete at Cente nary this year.
